how to letter cycle a word. [URL] I have it working but i am trying to create more than one word in seperate text boxes. I have changed MC names and text boxes, but it seems to only cycle in the first box. I even added dummy letters, which works but i am sure this is not the best way.

I have been building a simple word game. It is smple but works fine. I am now trying to enhance some of the features.I would like to see if I can display one letter of each word so the Player has a hint. Think of this as a beginners level.The words are random from a text list. Either I can make the letters invisible and the game starts without a hint or I am able to select a letter using charAt() or creating a new variable substring()from the word which is the displayed repeatedly on the stage(not what I want) I have not been able to find a way to display one letter and display it in the correct order within the word and keep the remaining letters invisible.

Is there an option for the user to type in a search word and it will go to that item? In Visual studio I have an option for this. Currently the way it works it only jumps to the first letter of the word, kind of a intellegent search.
View 2 RepliesI'd like to build a cipher in AS2, and I was wondering if there's any way for me to search a string for a specific letter/word?
Example:
someTextBox.text = "Lorem ipsum";
Can I search inside of that string for an "m" and then subsequently alter that letter?
How would I upper case the first letter in a scentence and lower case the others. So that when im typing if i hit space then hit a new letter it is automatically caps. and the next is lower case till the next space?

(kinda like in guildwars their naming system).
Looking to write some code that converts the first letter of each word in a input textbox string to Caps if not already. ie - input textbox = "lowercase input string", then on button press the function converts the input to output this: "Lowercase Input String".
View 3 RepliesI've got an inputfield.OnChange Event Handler.When someone types a letter, i want the letter to become 0, then 1, then 2, and so on until 9 and then i want the letter to be there.And when they click on another letter, same effect happens.so at the end if i typed, "testing", each letter scrolls 0-9 like a roll dial and settles on the letter typed.What i've managed to do is make it work, but if i type at normal speed and not slow, i end up getting something like: t32t43g
View 3 RepliesI have a combo box that I'm trying to enter a letter for to search values for that particular letter and I keep getting this error.

View 15 RepliesIn many RPG games, messages appear in textboxes letter by letter (usually accompanied by a repetitive beeping). I've been trying to simulate this in Flash for a game I've been working on in AS2. When it comes to programming, I'm fairly new and so far, the best I've got is this:
var num:Number = 0;
var s:String = "This message will appear.";
function onEnterFrame():Void {

I am doing drag-the-word quiz. When you match the word with correct part, the message pop out, saying Bingo! If the word is matched with wrong part, the "Sorry. Try Again" message pops out, says "Sorry. Try Again". I managed to make the "Sorry. Try Again" message disappear. However it dun work anymore after that. Sometimes it is quite funny. When I play it, the "Sorry. Try Again" message dun pop out at all.
Another problem - I am not sure how to make the word fit into the white box. I only know how to make the word drop on the white box. Can you tell me how to do it? I will be adding voiceovers to the quiz when the word is matched with the part. For e.g it will say "bingo" or "Sorry. Try Again". How to attach the voiceovers to it?
create the word which changing many time and in the end become a clear word like what's happend exactly in horizintal menu in [URL] That's what i wanted the changing in words like that menu?

how could I randomly choose a word from the list and have it as a variable
system to browse offline howeverthis doesn't work correctly for any less then ActionScript 3. Whenyou highlighted a word in the past such as "null" it use to pull upthe word and the info in all the books. Now all I see is a webbrowser that doesn't do this for me. I mean who sits there atadobe's end and thinks up of ways to slow someone down like this??How can you remove the corequick linking from the program.Number 1 not everyone is on AS3 and some of us still have to updateAS2 code.

I have 36 photographs taken at 10-degree angles, making an object and i have each image in a different scene, with hidden buttons asigned to different parts of the object so that whenever you hover your mouse over them it provides some more information.
What I want to do is to be able to cycle through these images in the different scenes using the up and down buttons on the keyboard.

I have made a movie file symbol with multiple key-frames, such as a person walking, but when I drag this symbol from the library into the stage and preview it, all I see is the first frame of the symbol--it never changes to the next frames.
View 1 RepliesLet's say I have 30 movieclips in the library, all of the are unique and have linkage names item0, item1,..., item29. Now I need to display them. In as2 I would do:[code]How can I do this in as3? As far as I know I can only attach movies from library like "new Item0()", is that right? So there is no way I could do this in a for-cycle?

Does anyone know if it is possible to modify the code so that it automatically cycles through all the images in, say, 10 second intervals? So rather than keep clicking the next button, it just cycles through. And when it gets to the last image, it then cycles back through the first one.[code]...
I am making a portfolio for my website and here is the beginning of my script.
stop();
//setting up the list of frame names for the buttons
imagelist = ["horror","legs","chair"];
//'next' button setup
next_b.onRelease = function() {
gotoAndPlay (imagelist[0]);
}
Now I want the button to cycle through the arrays so that everytime you hit the button it goes to the next frame instance that I've named. In this case imagelist[0] is horror so next time you hit button I want it to goto imagelist[1] or 'legs.' Also I need to set a stop action for this (I am guessing loop) so that it stops at the array length.
If I wanted to to cycle through an array that looked like this:Array("Red", "Blue", "orange", "green", "Silver", "Black", "Yellow", "Peach")how would my code look if I wanted to only display three at a time. what would the code look like for a next and a previous button to see the next three and the previous three?
